Oh, that sounds like such a very wonderful time! It's so nice you could all be together. I'm happy for you all and Happy 75th to hubby! That's kind of a milestone birthday and one he will probably never forget.

@suzyQ3, this just made my day! So glad you all were able to get together and celebrate. It has been a long time coming, and yes...in addition to your husband's birthday, much to celebrate making it through the past year, and making the sacrifices all of you have made.

And that key lime tart sounds delicious!! Yum!

I had posted recently that we invited our daughter and family to celebrate several big events -- an appreciation for all their help getting my husband and I easily through these months by delivering food and finding fairly early vaccinations slots for, a related cheer for us to be able to dine IN a restaurant, and not to be forgotten, my husband's 75 birthday!

So it happened last night and was just magical for us. We had window seats at an excellent restaurant overlooking the ocean. The atmosphere was very festive but low-key. And the food, OMG the food. *See below.

Just to be with our daughter, son-in-law, our 17-year-old grandson, and our almost 16-year-old granddaughter in such a beautiful setting made me feel - warm. I took a mental snapchat to keep forever. I feel truly blessed. Thanks for listening. :-)

*I had a chili-spiced avocado with Napa cabbage, jicama, Cotija, crème fraîchecrispy quinoa, chili lime vinaigrette that was amazing. For my main dish, I had Free Range Harissa grilled chicken,crispy polenta fries, roasted Brussels sprouts, cashews, aji verde sauce. And for dessert I had a key lime tart with caramelized pineapple, coconut whipped ganache rum butter cake, mango coconut gelé. It was more than I've eaten all week!

@suzyQ3

Sounds wonderful! What was the name of the restaurant? I hope you managed to have a little left over for a doggie bag. Never heard of crispy polenta fries, but I can imagine .... how lovely!
